Since 1990, MathPro Inc. has completed scores of engagements, for clients in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Here are summaries of some of our more noteworthy studies. The summaries are arranged roughly in reverse chronological order.

In most instances, the reports that we produced in these engagements are available from the client organizations (either on request or via their web sites).
